Can't read the article behind a paywall, but this is China's side of the story:

Seems this is part of an ongoing diplomatic spat.

EDIT: FYI, couldn't read the article due to a paywall, did a search, found out some about the history. Thought this added information to the conversation. Yes, this is clearly propaganda, but I still thought it was interesting. You're all of age, you can read this sort of propaganda without being harmed.
